Gently on the Surface

About

I am a multidisciplinary artist from the East Midlands based in Leeds, West Yorkshire (UK).
I am currently making paper collages and hand-embroidered textiles. My themes include interaction and the narratives created between one motif and the next. I am interested in how visual mimicry, pattern and repetition mirrors cognition and processes of connection-seeking.
